Huge change to bin collections across England – will you be affected by the new rules?
Huge change to bin collections across England – will you be affected by the new rules?
Millions of Britons are set to face major changes in bin collections due to the government’s rules on recycling.
Tories continuing with the scorched earth policy. This will push costs onto Labour when they come into power. Or criticism when they have to reverse this.
There is no appreciation of facilities to either remove or process this new waste segmentation. There is no budget being allocated to the plan as is indicated by the term "reasonable funding". It very much looks like we are going to see nothing but a gremlin approach to improving the state of the UK until these people are resigned to history.
I thought he didn't like recycling bins? First there's too many now there's not enough??
My opinion is that this is not about a preference of procedure, but just an act created to add barriers to good governance once the Tories are gone. Coffee has added an implementation date of 2026. She may still be an MP considering she currently holds a near 20,000 safety net, but she will not be in any position to push the agenda on this one. What you can guarantee is that the Tories will jump all over Labour for their anti-NZ policies when they drop this.
But Labour shouldn’t drop it. It may well be an attempt at hanging an albatross around an incoming government’s neck, but it’s a reasonably good idea. It should have happened years ago, hell, even within the same authority there is inconsistency.
Now, one of the huge hurdles to implementation of items in the plan like “garden waste collection for all homes” is the cuts to local government funding; which Labour must seek to reverse if they are to have any chance of success in their term. Simply put, there’s too much country to run, to achieve what they want to achieve, if they don’t start helping councils meet their statutory obligations without having to sacrifice local services.
Bits of this policy will, and should be rejigged with time, but the principle is sound enough.
And now that I’ve defended Coffee, I’m off to drink bleach.
But this is to take power away from councils. Tories hate local government so do everything to centralise
